1) IT can be used to improve quality in routine work through timely delivery of patient information and enabling anytime access to data.
2) IT also assists in research through data collection, analysis and presentation.
3) The results of research can then be translated back to routine use through knowledge management tools, process redesign, and reminder systems.
5. IT’s Roles in R2R
Routine to Research
• Use of IT to improve quality in routine work
• Use of IT to assist in your “research”
